pandas.index.copy remove index name information when specifying new dtype · Issue #32013 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd named_idx = pd.Index([17.3, 69.221, 33.1, 15.5, 19.3, 74.8, 10, 5.5]).set_names('old_name') named_idx Float64Index([17.3, 69.221, 33.1, 15.5, 19.3, 74.8, 10.0, 5.5], dtype='float64', name='old_name') named_idx.copy(name='new_name', dtype='int64') Int64Index([17, 69, 33, 15, 19, 74, 10, 5], dtype='int64') named_idx.copy(dtype='int64') Int64Index([17, 69, 33, 15, 19, 74, 10, 5], dtype='int64')

Problem description

When set new dtype parameter in function pandas.index.copy somehow it remove name information on new object

Expected Output

import pandas as pd
named_idx = pd.Index([17.3, 69.221, 33.1, 15.5, 19.3, 74.8, 10, 5.5]).set_names('old_name')
named_idx
Float64Index([17.3, 69.221, 33.1, 15.5, 19.3, 74.8, 10.0, 5.5], dtype='float64', name='old_name')
named_idx.copy(name='new_name', dtype='int64')
Int64Index([17, 69, 33, 15, 19, 74, 10, 5], dtype='int64', name='new_name')
named_idx.copy(dtype='int64')
Int64Index([17, 69, 33, 15, 19, 74, 10, 5], dtype='int64', name='old_name')

Output of pd.show_versions()
